Abstract: Apparatus for holding electrical conductors which includes a body having one or more bores for receiving electrical conductors. Each bore has an axial section having a non-circular cross-section. The bores may be disposed in substantially parallel relationship. Each of the bores may includes a counterbore at one axial extremity thereof to provide space for a weld between electrical conductors disposed in that bore and a chamber at the axial extremity thereof opposite to the axial extremity at which the counter bore is disposed.The invention also includes the method of assembling an assembly having first and second sets of wires or individual conductors that are to be secured together and then held respectively apart thereafter.
